Good to know, Bones. My tombstone-having R-14 likewise interferes with my medium Saddlesack, though it works fine with my large. I prefer to carry the medium most of the time, though.
Another member messaged me off-list to suggest that the rack on Vaughn's custom might be a prototype that RBW had hanging around. These data (all two of them) exclude neither the prototype theory nor the commercially-available theory. But there are at least two such R-14s in the world! -- Bob On Thursday, July 31, 2025 at 4:54:11 AM UTC-6 Bones wrote: > Bob, this rack does exist; I have one and it is currently attached to my > Hillborne.
